Hello! I’m Chris Rutledge, the post EP / cg supervisor at Grin Machine. Happy to answer any questions. Glad people are enjoying this video, was so fun to get to play with this technique and help break it into some mainstream production

Awesome work, incredibly well done! What was the process like for setting the direction on use of these techniques with Rakim? Were you basically just trusted to make something great or did they have a lot of opinions on the technicalities?

I didn’t interface much with Rocky outside of the shoot, our director Dan was talking to him regularly and he certainly had options and great ideas but mostly left it up to us. All of the creative came from Dan and bouncing ideas off us / trying things and seeing what was possible with this tech. By the end of the process it was awesome to get Dan also into blender helping set up camera moves himself, in addition to finessing the edit and animatic to help point us in the right direction.

Grin Machine knocked this out of the park!

Great job, Chris and crew!
